Return of the Legendary Runesmith

"She’s crazy about you," Ariana said after Adrian finished telling her what happened earlier.

He hadn’t wanted to keep secrets from her and regret it later. She already knew that Elana had feelings for him, so talking to Ariana about it felt right.

"You remember the day of your assessment?" Ariana asked, catching Adrian by surprise.

He turned to her, eyebrows raised, waiting for her to go on.

"I had to lock her in her room after she froze everything around her," Ariana continued. "She was terrified something bad would happen to you after people started calling you a fake. And angry at those who mocked you."

Adrian felt a chill run down his spine. "Was it really that bad?" he asked softly.

Ariana let out a humorless laugh. "Bad is too soft a word. When I saw her, she had frozen her entire room. She was a mess. You know what accidental magic does to us..."

Accidental magic — it happens when someone loses control of their emotions, and their power reacts on its own. It wasn’t like using a weapon or a spell. It was raw, and it hurt the user, sometimes badly.

Their gods had forbidden them from using magic freely, so when it happened by accident, it left scars that went deeper than the skin.

"If I hadn’t kept her breathing that day, things would have been even worse during the trials," Ariana said, her voice heavy with worry.

She knew just how much that girl loved Adrian — enough to fight the strongest forces in the kingdom, enough to nearly kill a princess. Calling it a crush didn’t do it justice.

Adrian stared at the floor. "What do you think I should do?" he asked, voice low. "Should I stay away from her... or just tell her how I really feel?"

Ariana gave a quiet, honest answer. "As your girlfriend, I really want you to tell her you’re already with someone and she should back off. But as a teacher who knows how much potential Elana has, I don’t want you to hurt her in a way where she abandons everything and disappears."

Adrian understood. He could see both sides of her—girlfriend and teacher—and he knew how torn she must feel.

After thinking for a while, he nodded. "I won’t seek her out. But if something like what happened today happens again, I’ll tell her exactly how I feel."

"That’s fair to both of us," Ariana said softly, smiling as she stood and walked over to him.

Adrian’s brows rose as she moved his hands and settled herself on his lap. Her legs draped over the armrest, and her arm wrapped around his neck.

"You didn’t smoke today?" he asked, trying to ignore the sudden warmth in his lower stomach.

She smiled, her eyes smoldering. "I didn’t find a reason to," she said, her voice low and husky, sending a shiver down his spine.

She leaned closer and whispered, "But I think I’ve found one now."

Adrian frowned, puzzled. "Because of Elana? You know I have no feelings for her."

Ariana’s smirk deepened. "Not because of her... but because of the Vermillion."

He stared at her, confused, until she added, "You spent the whole day with another girl. Shouldn’t I be a little jealous?"

His expression softened. He pressed a gentle kiss to her cheek. "You can be."

Ariana bit her lip, feeling something stirring beneath her....something hot and stiff. But instead of pulling away, she asked, her voice trembling, "Tell me... did she touch you?"

Adrian thought for a moment before answering her. "Nothing except for my hand," he said, voice low.

Ariana’s left brow lifted as she took his right hand in hers, her touch light but deliberate. "This one?" she asked softly.

He didn’t answer, just stared at her.

Without a word, she slowly lifted his hand and pressed a kiss to his fingertip.

"Aria?" he breathed, confusion in his voice.

She didn’t answer him with words. Instead, she let her lips part as her tongue peeked out to slowly trace the pad of his finger, leaving a glistening trail behind. Her tongue moved with a slow, deliberate rhythm—licking, then pausing to suck lightly before licking again.

Every flick of her tongue made his pulse race faster, his chest tightening with desire.

She didn’t stop there. Her tongue licked from the base of his finger to the tip, slow and teasing, before slipping his finger past her lips. She sucked gently, her tongue swirling around it, warm and wet, sending a jolt of heat down his spine.

"A-Aria..." he stammered, shifting in his seat as desire pooled low in his nether region.

She sucked gently, her tongue tracing slow, deliberate circles around his fingertip. Every motion was hot, wet, and erotic, making his pulse quicken.

He could barely breathe. Watching her like this—so open, so sensual—made his head spin.

She pulled back slightly, her lips still parted, and locked eyes with him. At that moment, he knew she was teasing him—testing him—and he didn’t think he could resist her much longer.

She moaned softly, eyes half-lidded as she licked around his finger again and again, making sure he felt every stroke. Then she pulled back just enough to breathe, her lips still wet and parted.

"There...now it’s clean," A silver lining attached her lips to his fingers.

Adrian could no longer hide the heat between his legs and he was sure that she was vividly aware of it too.

They stared at each other for a moment, their minds screaming for only a single thing and without a word—

"Mm~" Adrian pulled her for a deep, passionate kiss.

Their lips met in a hungry duel, locking and sucking on each other as if the world was about to meet its end and they only had these few last seconds.

Adrian’s hand snaked behind her neck, his hot fingers tracing her skin, burning her.

His tongue pried through her teeth, making its way inside her mouth and finding her soft tongue, which had teased his fingers previously.

She moaned, moving her hips, grinding her base on his stiffness.

"This is bad," he said after parting from her, "...you are really pushing all my buttons." His breath was heavy and hot, making her tremble in excitement.

She leaned toward him, her finger trailing his sharp jawline as she asked, "You can call this punishment for making me jealous."

She again moved her waist, making him growl as his thing was now barely contained within his pants.

Adrian finally lost his cool. This was too much for his lonely ass self who has been barely controlling himself around this hot vixen.

He lifted her in his arms, her legs instantly locking themselves around his waist and his lips meeting hers in another hungry kiss.

He rested her on the table, lips going down to her chin and neck, fingers tugging at her shirt and ripping the buttons away.

"So assertive~" She giggled and soon moaned as his fiery lips landed on her neck, strongly pulling her skin with that kiss, which left a mark behind.

He gave the hickey a soft lick before kissing her lips again.

The room was filled with the heat both of them were radiating.

They wanted each other. They were hungry for each other

And just when Adrian was about to move to the good part,

*Knock*

"Madam Headmistress!" Came the voice from the other side.

Adrian clicked his tongue...the person seemed to be in a rush, so Ariana couldn’t ignore her.

However, before he could have pulled away, Ariana caged him with her legs and called out, "Unless someone is dying, go away and come back in an hour."

"Ah-okay!" They heard footsteps. The person was going away

Adrian turned his attention back to his woman and heard her saying, "No one can disturb us. Now show me how passionate you are to make me yours."

Adrian decided to answer her with his actions.
